SOLD FOR $1,242,000

Barrett-Jackson - The World's Greatest Collector Car Events

i watched the action last night and seen the car sell..my jaw droped when they went from 25k to 50k to 100k bids..i thought the acution was done at 800k and then out of know where a guy said 900k.it was the best auction i have ever seen yet.

 

That would be a dream, but 1.2Mil?

 

i think alot of that price tag comes from the publicity and significance the car itself holds.

 

yea i watched it last night too..did you see how much the new shelby gt500 went for? i think it was 800k?

 

I saw it also. The GT500 went for 600K. That was just way to much. I thought the car itself only cost around 50k.

 

Cars with documented history always get more.

From the webpage:

454cid LS6 V8 automatic transmission with 61 miles showing on the odometer. This is the car that Ray Allen drove and won just about every conceivable race entered in 1970. This car won The US Nationals, The Super Nationals, The World Finals and most of the division races that were entered. This car has gone through a frame-off restoration that was mostly built and supervised by Ray Allen himself. This car is being sold with the original New Jersey title in Truppi & Kling's name and also comes with the original build sheet and various magazine and National Dragster articles about this World Champion Car and pictures at The Winners' Circle. This car is truly a legend in muscle car history.

 

noo it was definately up to 800k

 

Are you sure? I saw 600k. It was the last car of the auction right?

 

i could be wrong but im pretty sure it was 800k..because the guy in the ferrari hat was jumping around at 600k and then someone bid 650

 

LOL. I remember the "ferrari hat" guy too. I really don't like him very much. I love to see him get out bid. What the hell does he do any way.

But I could also be wrong. I just remember 600k going to a charity.
